Description

This is a robust steel chronograph that’s been in my collection since 1994. It’s been around the world and never babied. Smooth steel bracelet with an oyster clasp that’s held up well. The subdails have limited use for me as the minute dial only goes to 30 and I never need a sub second dial. However I usually leave the chronograph feature on as I like a large sweep second hand. The lume was great for almost 20 years but now is washed out in even dim light. However, the dial is easy to read. The pushers used to screw lock to help water resistance but that’s been lost to time. So no swimming in the ones semi retirement!
